[s-cars] Help with Switchblade keys... And other Jewelry...

[Lewis, Gary M]

I haven't got RF, IF, and since my wife is out of town, no other F worth speaking about.  In fact, the Stealer commented when I went in there to get the radio reset I had the only S6 Avant sans keyless alarm he'd every seen.

However...

I really like the idea of Auto Jewelry (As Pastore calls it), and the switchblade key sounds cool.  Since all I need is the key and no electronic controls, anybody know what the cheapest switchblade key is that will work with my 1995.5 S6 Avant?

BTW, measuring my "Dork Factor" as it pertains to Auto Jewelry, my last European parts purchase (big-red brake brackets, rear lenses {mine are busted}) included "S6 Plus" badges.  And Sunset Porsche is sending me an "Audi Sport" license plate frame with my front grill purchase.

I feel like a weenie, but they look cool.  I never, ever, acted this way until I bought this damn car.  Do I need help??
